Oil & Gas

Oil sands exploration and production require drilling tools that perform in some of the most challenging soft-formation conditions in the industry. Unlike hard rock mining, oil sands coring demands equipment that recovers unconsolidated, water-saturated material without compressing or washing out the sample — because core integrity is directly tied to resource estimation accuracy.

What We Offer

  • DTH and rotary drill bits for oil sands and geotechnical coring
  • Impregnated core bits for soft-formation coring programs
  • AMC drilling fluids for borehole stability
  • Tuffy Automatic Core Saw for core sample processing
  • Core handling supplies — core boxes, splits, labels
  • Wear parts and maintenance consumables for surface drilling equipment

Allbutt Mining Supplies supplies diamond core bits, drilling fluids, and core handling equipment suited to oil sands and geotechnical drilling programs in Alberta and across Western Canada. Our AMC drilling fluid lineup includes polymers and viscosifiers that stabilize the borehole and reduce fluid loss in sandy or fractured formation — critical for maintaining sample quality in reverse circulation or conventional core drilling.

For core processing, the Tuffy Automatic Core Saw's continuous feed system and low-vibration cutting action is well-suited to soft, unconsolidated core that can shatter or smear under aggressive saw operation. The mist guard reduces silica and sand spray in the core shack, improving conditions for logging geologists working through high-volume programs.

We also supply geotechnical drillers working on pipeline, dam, and infrastructure projects across the Prairies and North — where remote site conditions and fast turnaround on consumable replenishment are common requirements.
